I shall be away for a bit, but here’s a festive story to tide us over the holidays:

Title: Festive Restings
Author: dblauvelt
Rating: All Ages
Word Count: 3762
Characters: Professor Bernice Summerfield, Wolsey, Eighth Doctor, Seventh Doctor
Setting / Era: 1920s (1922, 1924) Durham
There’s not very much made of the setting, I admit, but it’s a great story and it’s all Christmassy and appropriate, so there.

Characters: First Doctor, Second Doctor, Polly Wright, Ben Jackson, Third Doctor, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, Liz Shaw, Fourth Doctor, Harry Sullivan, Sarah Jane Smith, Fifth Doctor, Tegan Jovanka, Turlough, Sixth Doctor, Evelyn Smythe, Seventh Doctor, Bernice Summerfield, Eighth Doctor, Charley Pollard, Ninth Doctor, Rose Tyler, Jack Harkness, Tenth Doctor.

Not a serious historical by any means whatsoever. I apologise unreservedly for any offense taken by the historical figures involved, but hopefully this chronicle of the Doctor’s near misses when it comes to marriage will amuse.

Let’s continue on a theme here…
Title: A Time to Remember
Author: Gary Merchant
Rating: All Ages
Word Count: 1114
Characters: Jamie McCrimmon, Seventh Doctor
Setting / Era: 18th C Scotland
Perhaps again not another strict historical, but there is some scene setting – and who needs any excuse to rec a perfect fix-it for The War Games?
(Just a note, because there is a follow-up for Zoe here, although it really has no place here, but how could I not say?)

Title: The Magic Door
Author: LilacFree
Rating: All Ages
Word Count: 1396
Characters: Tegan Jovanka, Jamie McCrimmon, Fifth Doctor, Nyssa
Setting / Era: 1700s Scotland, pre-The Highlanders.
Again, maybe it’s not a serious historical, but it picks up on a possible view of the time regarding the unlikely TARDIS crew, cleverly, and includes a (pre-Highlanders) young Jamie. It’s a lovely little piece.

Title: A Jack of All Troubles
Author: Clarissa
Rating: All Ages
Word Count: 2809
Characters: Ninth Doctor, Rose Tyler, Jack Harkness
Setting / Era: Whitechapel, 1880s
While Nine takes Rose on a tour of her city’s past, Jack gets into trouble (in a really bad case of mistaken identity). There are a couple Americanisms (gottens all round – sorry, I’m an incurable picky Brit, I know), but it’s still a bit of historical fun.

Title: Balm of Gilead
Author: Patrice
Rating: PG
Word Count: 37,496 (11 chapters)
Characters: Fifth Doctor, Tegan Jovanka, Turlough
Setting / Era: 1850s Georgia, slavery.
This is an brilliant fic – a well-written historical, tackling some difficult issues but with some unsettling alien interference and exceptional use of the TARDIS team in question. I can’t recommend it enough.

Title: The Final Days
Author: Silver_Smurfer
Rating: All Ages
Word Count: 6612
Characters: Fifth Doctor, Peri Brown
Setting / Era: Pompeii, but not Volcano Day, this once.
The Doctor and Peri go to the theatre in Pompeii. The volcano isn’t exploding (just this once) but there’s an alien manipulating human cultists, so business as usual there at least…

Title: Interrupted
Author: rea_p
Rating: All Ages
Word Count: 443
Characters: Fourth Doctor, Romana I
Setting / Era: Tudor England
A brief, amusing vignette. There are (or were when I looked) two typos in the first line, but after that’s it a fun little vignette with a really nice sense of period detail to it. I’ll overlook it just this once. (Plus, stories with Romana I are a rare and good thing.)

Title: Meet Me in St Louis
Author: tangerine
Rating: All Ages
Word Count: 114
Characters: Fourth Doctor, Sarah Jane Smith
Setting / Era: St Louis world fair, Missouri, 1904
The Doctor, Sarah and a little bit of historical fun and nonsense. What could be wrong with that?
